Los Angeles, CA – Emmy-nominated actress Alex Borstein, known for her role as Susie Myerson in the hit Prime Video series “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” recently revealed that she plans to sit down and watch the entire series with her daughter after the SAG Awards and the show officially comes to an end. Borstein admitted that she has only seen the first two episodes and the last one of the show, so watching it from start to finish will be a new experience for her.
As the final season of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” aired last spring, Borstein expressed her fondness for being able to speak freely without worrying about the consequences in a pre-social media era. She will miss the freedom to say what you want without fearing the long-lasting impact of your words.
The critically acclaimed series, created by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, concluded with time jumps that showcased the lives of Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) and Susie. When Borstein first read the script, she was initially unsure about the time jumps and aging makeup, wondering how she would portray an older Susie. However, as she began filming the final scenes, Borstein felt that the decision was right and the execution was successful.
During an interview, Borstein shared her fears with creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, who admitted she had uncertainties about the time jumps as well. The showrunner, however, trusted Borstein’s portrayal and agreed to take the risk. As for the possibility of a spinoff featuring Susie or any other character, Sherman-Palladino remained coy, stating that anything is possible in the unpredictable world.
Overall, Borstein’s plan to watch “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” in its entirety demonstrates her dedication to the series and her desire to experience it as a viewer rather than a performer. With the show’s conclusion, Borstein reflects on her character and the freedom she had to express herself without the fear of being held accountable online.
